because you're my most favorite person in the world

"To hell with this."

"To hell with what?" Ellie asked Rebecca.

Ellie and Rebecca were now in their second period of class, dreaded Biology. They were now learning about the transition of genetic material to the next generation.

Ellie was immersed in the lesson, while Rebecca stared down at her piece of paper and started doodling the name, "Harry", all over the foolscap paper their biology teacher handed them.

The blonde took a glance at Rebecca who was beside her in the lab and noticed Rebecca who was doodling with a sullen expression.

"You miss, Harry?" Ellie whispered over to Rebecca. Rebecca sighed and gave slow nod,making Ellie worried about her.

"Ms. Parker, Ms. Ashley, what are you two whispering about over there?" Their Biology teacher, Mr. Mathias said, while holding up his ruler menacingly.

Ellie whipped her head towards him and let out an awkward chuckle. "Nothing, Mr. Mathias. I was just asking Rebecca what the question meant!"

The brunette looked up from her paper nodded.

"Yes, teacher. She didn't understand. She was just asking me." Rebecca continued with a bored expression. 

The girl clearly did not want to be here.

Mr. Mathias raised an eyebrow and rubbed his bald head, making Ellie stifle a small laugh. "Alright, then." He said as he turned back to face the whiteboard.

Ellie then sighed and looked over to her friend, her mind already racing with thought about, "Harry", Rebecca's college boyfriend of 6 months.

"Alright class, I will now give you homework," Mr. Mathias said as he slammed a bunch of worksheets from his table.

He patted the top of the 5 pile of worksheets. "Take one from each stack and staple them together." He said to the students who were mindlessly taking the worksheets.

"I will expect you to finish these by Friday."

'I got three days to finish, sweet.'

"-That's what I'm saying, and then Rebecca got all angry when I told her, 'what if you're boyfriend's cheating on you', because she didn't get in contact with him for over a month!"

"Wait," Julio raised a hand in front of Ellie, shushing her up from her quiet little rant.

"Why are you telling me this?" Julio asked her, opening his book, titled, 'The Book Thief', and taking out his knitted bookmark.

Ellie raised an eyebrow and rested her cheek on her hand. "Why?" She asked as she smiled at him.

"Because you are my most favourite person in the world." She finished, opening an eye to look at Julio's reaction.

Julio, unimpressed, sighed and dug his nose into his book, ignoring her compliment.

"I'm flattered, but you aren't my favourite." Julio said, while ruffling his brown locks. Ellie's eyes widened and leaned in.

"T-Then, who is?" She asked, her eyes waiting in anticipation.

"...My dog."

"Oh, understandable. Dogs are pretty cute." Ellie said as she brought a finger to her chin and nodded.

Julio jolted from his seat and Ellie swore his eyes were sparkling like a gem under sunlight. 

He leaned in to Ellie, his glasses dropping, giving Ellie a closer look at his chocolate orbs.

"I know right?! Some dogs are cute, some dogs are small, some of them love cuddles, and, oh! I love the ones with a little snout don't you think?!" Julio exclaimed.

Ellie was surprised.

Who knew the boy she has a crush on who was mostly a sarcastic and sassy bastard, was so in love with dogs?

"I-ugh!" Julio stop rambling once he met with Ellie's awkward yet teasing smile. Julio cleared his throat, looked away shyly and continued reading his book.

"I...." Julio trailed off. "I'm done now, you can stop staring at me like a hungry predator."

Ellie got taken aback and felt a wrenching feeling in her chest. 

"Ouch, I'm not a hungry predator!" She retorted back, sinking into her arms and was ready to sleep.

"Cute..." Ellie said softly before gently closing her eyes and enjoying the silence between she and Julio.

She silently wished that Ms. Agnes would go for a longer maternity leave to enjoy her time with Julio.

Andrew slung his signature Adidas bag around his broad shoulders and sighed. He closed his locker and adjusted the headphones around his neck.

"Andrew!" 

The quarterback looked at the direction where the voice was, and was faced to face with his boyfriend, a rather tall male with black hair and black eyes.

Andrew smiled and wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's shoulder and they both started walking to the canteen.

The slightly shorter male, Andrew, looked over to his friend's table with Ellie leaping out of her seat with joy with Rebecca looking depressed, and Johan who was quietly eating his salad.

He had mismatched mix of friends.

He said and waved goodbye to Jack, his boyfriend, and walked over to his friends, an immediate screech of Ellie ringed in his ears.

"He's so cute! You can't believe what he said about dogs! Oh my god, I'm still getting goosebumps-"

"Shut up." Andrew cut her off by slamming his large math textbook on her head, causing her to loudly winced and groan in pain.

"What the fuck, Andrew!" She groaned. Andrew huffed and looked over to Rebecca who was poking at her fried chicken.

Andrew cocked an eyebrow. "That's unusual. You like to fried chicken, Rebecca."

Rebecca sighed and pushed away her tray dejectedly. Her friends looked over to her and frowned.

"Rebecca has been like this since Bio." Ellie said sighing in between her words. "She misses, Harry."

Johan looked at Rebecca and took her hand. "Don't worry, girl. He'll make time to hang out with you." He assured her.

Ellie scoffed and crossed her arms. "It's been a month of waiting for him to 'hang out' with Becca, how long does that asshole plan to make her wait?"

The four of them thought in silence, until Andrew snapped his fingers and leaned closer to them.

"How about, we sneak out." Andrew whispered
